Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 baking potatoes, washed
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 sticks salted butter
1 cup bacon bits (fry your own!)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Cheddar or Jack cheese (or a mix of both), plus more for topping
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3 green onions, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
  • Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
  • With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
  • Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
  • Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

CLASSIC STUFFED TWICE BAKED POTATOES



Classic Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes image

This is my perfect basic recipe for twice baked potatoes. These potatoes are great to make ahead of time. Just refrigerate or freeze until you need them, and reheat in the oven. I prefer sharp cheddar cheese, but you can use whatever you like, but it will change the taste of the recipe. Cook time includes baking the potatoes. Bake a few extra potatoes for extra filling if you like.

4 medium baking potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon milk, maybe more
4 slices American cheese or 4 slices other good melting cheese

  • Bake for one hour, or until fully cooked.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly.

  • Set skins aside.
  • Add butter and salt to potatoes; mash until smooth.
  • Add sour cream; mash until combined.
  • Add cheese; mash until combined.
  • Add one tablespoon of milk; mash.
  • If the mixture needs to be more creamy, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
  • Add additional salt to taste, if needed.
  • Fill empty skins with potato mixture.
  • Top each potato with a half slice of cheese.
  • Return to oven and reheat until hot.
  • *Note*You may also refrigerate them to reheat at a later time, or you can freeze them.
  • If you freeze them, delay placing the cheese slices on top until you are ready to bake them. You might want to add more milk to the mix before filling the potatoes because after freezing they seem to reheat a little less creamy.
